The Schlieffen Plan
Invade western front 1st
After defeating France concentrate on the Eastern front
Avoid fighting a 2 front war
![Page 22: 1914-1918: The World at War](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813115550346895d976a44/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Schlieffen Plan’s Destructive Nature
Germany made vast encircling movement through Belgium to enter Paris
Underestimated speed of the British mobilization– Quickly sent troops to
France
![Page 23: 1914-1918: The World at War](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813115550346895d976a44/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Schlieffen Plan’s Destructive Nature
Sept 6-10, 1914– Battle of Marne– Stopped the Germans but
French troops were exhausted
– Both sides dug trenches for shelter

1914 – 1915 Illusions and Stalemate
Many Europeans were excited about war– “Defend yourself against
the aggressors”– Domestic differences
were put aside
![Page 28: 1914-1918: The World at War](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813115550346895d976a44/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
1914 – 1915 Illusions and Stalemate
War would be over in a few weeks– Ignored the length and
brutality of the American Civil War
(prototype to World War I)
![Page 29: 1914-1918: The World at War](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813115550346895d976a44/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
1914 – 1915 Illusions and Stalemate
Belief that Modern industrial war could not be conducted for more than a few months
“Home by Christmas”

1914 – 1915 Illusions and Stalemate
“Fatal attraction of war”– Exhilarating release from
every day life– A glorious adventure– War would rid the
nations of selfishness– Spark a national re-birth

Life in the Trenches
Elaborate systems of defense– barbed wire– Concrete machine gun nests– Mortar batteries– Troops lived in holes underground

“Death is everywhere”
“We all had on us the stench of dead bodies.” Death numbed the soldier’s minds.
Shell shock Psychological devastation

“Death is everywhere” Mustard gas
– Carried by the wind– Burned out soldier’s
lungs– Deadly in the
trenches where it would sit at the bottom
[I saw his round mouth's crimson deepen as it fell],Like a Sun, in his last deep hour;Watched the magnificent recession of farewell,Clouding, half gleam, half glower,And a last splendour burn the heavens of his cheek.And in his eyesThe cold stars lighting, very old and bleak,In different skies.
